Queue Type Inheritance for Retry and Error Queues

The maxretry handler now inherits the queue type from the worker queue's
arguments when declaring retry and error queues.

This can be overridden with the :retry_queue_arguments option.

3.2.0

Changes Between 3.1.0 and 3.2.0 (Jan 26, 2025)

Improved Support for Bring-Your-Own-Connection (BYOC)

Kicks now supports passing in a callable (e.g. a proc) instead of an externally-initialized
and managed Bunny connection.

In this case, it is entirely up to the caller
to configure the connection and call Bunny::Session#start on it
at the right moment.
